So, I ordered all the things I needed for the 100k timing belt/water pump but it wont be at their warehouse until the 7th at the earliest, and they still have to ship it out to me. I'm currently at 99,3xx miles and will probably put on another 1500+ by the time I'm able to go get the timing belt, water pump, and all the seals changed. So I was wondering, would it be bad if I were to drag on past 100k miles a bit before I had everything changed ?
A little delay on 100k mile maintanence ?

No it is not bad, I did mine at 105k or so. It is recommended to change at around 100k but most people change it between 90k-130k. It all depends on weather, driving condition and some other factors, but I wouldn't worry about it till 110k. When I changed my timing belt, it was like new (had the car since 80k mines) and water pump was fine, so I didn't bother changing that.

People have gone beyond even the maximum that Slava mentioned, although NOT recommended.
You should be fine, it's hard to tell if you will have a problem just by looking at it, but as long as you aren't driving it hard, you should be fine.

Save the manuals
You're fine, I think the service interval is actually 105k miles. I went to around 107k before I did mine.

I suppose you could open up the timing belt cover and inspect it.
Most likely you won't see much wear.
